Tanceuticals Facial Self Tanner - Self Tanning Lotion for Face Gives Natural, Long Lasting Sunless Tan - Fresh Coconut Scent - Won’t Clog Pores or Cause Acne - Easy to Apply - 1.7 oz (Dark)

This is a dual rating: Face Tanner/Dark & Body Tanner Ultra Dark.Firstly, I’m fair w/some freckles and red undertones. However I do get relatively tan if I abuse myself in the sun—I don’t! I would rate the face tanner as very good. It’s a nice golden brown color on my skin. Although, I did need two applications, back to back, to get the color I like. I live on the gulf coast/Beach so being darker year around doesn’t raise eyebrows. The face tanner does have a less DHA smell then others I have used. No streaking and fades naturally.Now, the ultra dark body tanner is spectacular. One application and I was tan...two applications (2nd day) and I was week on the beach brown. It’s a superb golden brown color. Pretty much matched my normal tan without the red undertones. Hands down the best and deepest color I’ve ever gotten from a self tanner. No streaking so far but I there were a few spots around my feet that got a bit too dark. This is an intense tanner so follow a good application routine. Also, it does have a tanner smell once it develops...I would not wear on a date, for example. I’m a guy, if that matters.

*First time product user* I bought this product after research to find the best rated self tanner and this was listed in the top 5. First, this product came in it's usual expected packaging with the seals for the containers intact. It went on easier than many other self tanners I've tried. It felt smooth and moisturizing. At first, it had a pleasant lotion smell, but after 6 hours or so, that typical self tanner smell crept in. However, it was NOT as strong as other products I've used. I showered, exfoliated, and dried off first. Applied lotion. Applied extra lotion to my feet and ankles so the color wouldn't grab in those areas. I waited 5-10 minutes, then applied the self tanner starting with my feet and working my way up. I did wear disposable gloves. I gave it several minutes to dry, stood in front of my fan before putting on my nightshirt. I'm happily surprised to say when I woke up, I had a very natural deep tan and best of all NO STREAKS. I also bought the self tanner specifically for the face and it also turned out looking like a real tan. It didn't look orange-y either. I can't stress enough to apply lots of good lotion to your feet and ankles. I would definitely buy this again.

To start...I'm not an avid self tanner. Every product I've used over the years when I've gotten an itch to be a bit darker has left me either orange, too dark, or splotchy. I didn't go into this with high hopes at all, but it exceeded my expectations.I'm white. Like translucent white. With very red undertones...when I do tan in the sun it's looks more red than sunkissed brown.I did a small test patch on my leg the day before to make sure it wasn't going to be bright orange on my face, and seeing how dark it got on that spot overnight I opted to take a day and stay home so I could wash it off if it was getting too dark.The cream itself is very smooth and moisturizing...great for my dry skin. It did burn a bit at first but no red skin irritations. The color was good for me, it is definitely a bit 'warm', not a true brown, more like when I tan in the sun naturally. If you have cool undertones, I can see where it may look more orange than it did on me.Be warned though...this stuff STINKS. Smells great for about ten minutes...after that, pure DHA smell. Don't expect to leave the house if you do it during the day, it smells like burnt underarm hair.Other than that, didn't rub off on white pillows, not splotchy, and there's quite a lot in that little tube. Expect if I keep it up it would last probably a month, month and a half.

Best I've ever used. I was somewhat skeptical that this was the best. I found it recommended by a website on sunless tanning. I'd been using sunless tanning products for years and I had a brand that I thought was pretty good. But I wanted something without a tint. Then I got an invitation to an upscale pool party about a week away. I knew that the women would have great tans. The guys would be mixed. So, I pulled the trigger and ordered the product. Well, it IS the best I've ever used. The tan is significantly better. Two applications a couple of days apart gave me a very deep tan. I also got the face tanner, and it is excellent. One application gave me an excellent face tan. The product dries quickly, which is a bonus. So, now I'm ready for the high end party and I have the best product for the future.A few of tips. First, I wear Nitrile gloves to apply the product. Second, I transfer the product to a pump action bottle. I got two pump-action Dial hand soap dispensers for a dollar each, dumped the soap and inserted the body tanner in one and the face tanner in the other. That allows me to get just enough body tanner with just one pump with one hand. Third, for the face I put one pump into a small bowl. Then I spread part of the cream into a thin film on the side of the bowl. Then I use just one or two fingers to apply a thin film to my face. This allows me to apply the cream to my face in very small amounts each time, so I don't get dark spots from cream buildup. Also, feel free to push the product well up into your hair line. The product will not color your hair. Just one pump gives enough product to do two or three applications for the face. I wish that I could do a half a pump, but I can't, and end up using the excess on my legs. So, even though the face tanner container is only two and a half ounces (I think), it will last a long time.

I really liked this product but I had an allergic reaction. This isn’t the first time I have had one with self tanners but I took a chance. The smell is AMAZING. The color looked great in my pale a** skin. But then I got red and itchy. I think I’m allergic to DHA. Oh well. But give it a try if you don’t have allergies. The smell was really not bad at all and didn’t stain anything.

This item was delivered to me, however, it was stolen before I could retrieve it ! It sure looks like it would have been wonderful !
